THE MEMOIRS OF SUMMER RAY

Greetings from Gettysburg!

So, I was feeling a little depressed. Not gonna lie. I was having a pity party. I am working on The Blessings of Liberty book. Here is yesterday’s blog that talks abou it.https://thememoirsofsummerray.com/2026/11/08/america-directed-attention/. I am also finishing up the 1st memoirs book. I have to get that book done asap, as the scripts are written from them.

I have started editing the liberty book and I so hope to have them both published by the end of December. So, what was the pity party about? Just not seeing movement in the project or the books yet. But when I wrote out what was accomplished this year, I realized that God was preparing all of this work for next year. My pity party turned to happiness. I really haven’t been doing all of this work for nothing. I was just laying very much needed groundwork for the both the books and the film. I needed to have an Author Media Kit – done this year. I needed to have the books all updated with their own ISBNs, bookcovers, printed now on “groundwood” paper – done this year. The original series was finally finished this year after 17 1/2 years of writing the story. We needed a new promo trailer – done this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCh8aW9Qox8. Juliana Love Publising and Harbor Love Productions are both now LLCs with separate bank accounts and logos, done this year. We are now working on the new fundraiser via From the Heart Productions. I cannot complain as to where we are with the project. As previously stated, much needed groundwork has been poured, laid out, cemented, and established. We now have an outstanding foundation on which to build both sides of the project and to move forward with. But I didn’t see all of that until I wrote it all out. I saw what was done and it formed a pattern of things that needed to be completed, before we could actually move forward. OK! I get it. I am done being upset. It really put things in prespective and we need that sometimes. We need a clear path to reality. I am truly grateful for 2026. This year, I also passed the 500th blog mark. I love being able to take you all on this incredible journey of Summer Ray. But sometimes, it is a life journey too.

In 2027, we are ready to launch into the world of film festivals, book signings, fundraisers, and so much more. Right now, I am also starting to build the inventory. So, as we soon say, “Goodbye” to 2026, I can now do so with a great big smile on my face. It is okay to get overwhelmed. We just need to correct how we see things.

Thank you for being a part of our Summer Ray world.

Thank You, God for helping me to see the light and truth! Thank You for helping me to continue to do what needs to be done with both the books and the film sides of the project. In Jesus Name, Amen!

I am looking forward to 2027!

ONWARD!
